I build paintings where each layer is a reaction and conversation with the previous layers. I’m looking for moments of chance and creating something interesting, or beautiful, with little surprises that reward those who take the time to look deeper. When the painting strays too far into chaos, I slowly bring it back since this is when I can find that balance between chaos, serendipity, and serenity and know that the painting is finished.
